Trump Hits CNN Again
On Tuesday millions of Americans cheered when they watched President-Elect Donald Trump slam CNN when he told obnoxious and rude CNN reporter James Acosta: “YOU ARE FAKE NEWS.”
This was after CNN promoted an outrageous smear of Donald Trump with alleged hookers in Russia – a fake story 4Chan users planted in the media.
On Wednesday President-Elect Trump doubled down on his criticisms of dishonest CNN, this time over Twitter.
Trump Tweeted: “@CNN is in a total meltdown with their FAKE NEWS because their ratings are tanking since election and their credibility will soon be gone!”

I thought that @CNN would get better after they failed so badly in their support of Hillary Clinton however, since election, they are worse!

.@CNN is so embarrassed by their total (100% ) support of Hillary Clinton, and yet her loss in a landslide, that they don’t know what to do.

Wow, @CNN Town Hall questions were given to Crooked Hillary Clinton in advance of big debates against Bernie Sanders. Hillary & CNN FRAUD!

Wow, @CNN got caught fixing their “focus group” in order to make Crooked Hillary look better. Really pathetic and totally dishonest!

CNN is the worst – fortunately they have bad ratings because everyone knows they are biased. https://t.co/oFRfNY2rUY
